Rating: 3.0/5
This gold-hued Viré-Clessé from LA VANDAME presents a clear appearance, with a deep, golden colour. The nose offers a medium-intensity bouquet, dominated by primary aromas of crisp apple and lemon. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing medium acidity level, offset by a medium alcohol content and dry sweetness. Flavours of honeysuckle and grapefruit are accompanied by secondary notes of creamy coconut.
